our national deficit has grown through $16 trillion. the president said he was gone to cut that in half, but it doubled under his watch. very disturbing is that when the president came into office there were 32 million americans on food stamps. today its 47 million. there is still an incredible number of ohioans and americans out there struggling. the choice is clear. we can have four more years like the last of zero four. what america needs is a real recovery. only romney and ryan can provide that. host: when the president took office we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. since the president took office, we have 5.5 million additional jobs. truck about the automobile recovering, he saved the automobile industry and 1/88 jobs in the state are reflective of the auto industry. i worked the railroad 41 years. the guys and women working there, they're happy, jumping up and down because they have employment. one out of eight jobs are connected to the auto industry. not only that, the government at the time, strickland, and the president came

we would still have a $300 billion deficit. there are not enough rich people to tax to pay for all of their spending. watch out, middle-class, the tax issues are coming to you. host: joseph is in our jacksonville, florida line, in support of president obama. caller: good morning. i enjoyed the debate. several things caught my eye with vice president biden's. he did a lot of laughing and smirking. some of it was called for and some was not. going back to last week, watching romney tell those untruths, i believe he had to do some of that because the only thing paul ryan was doing was complementing what romney was doing, which was lying. so i believe biden had to interrupt because there were times when things ryan was saying did not make any sense. the 47%, they cannot clarify the that this really has hurt a lot of people by what they have said and they cannot live up to that. then president obama gets in office the first day and the republicans say we will do everything we can to make sure you are one-term president. how can you

host: what are the most likely components each side would have to give in order to lower our deficit? guest: great question. pretty easy. democrats are going to have to give on entitlements, meaning medicare, social security, and the broader domestic side of spending, such as medicaid. we call these entitlements, but they are really the great society safety net program and the rest of the domestic spending, on everything from school lunches you name it, go up and down the list, all these different activities. on the republican side, it goes back to what an earlier caller spoke about on revenue. the republicans will likely need to give some sort of new revenue, some sort of adjustment of the tax code that produces new revenue. those are the main gives on either side. very hard to get these two sides to compromise on this. host: there's a story this week with this headline -- how much does he want to get accomplished before he leaves? guest: it goes back to the idea that as productive as the gang of eight may be, it does need leadership about them to take whatever products they have and

to make a deficit neutral. if you actually run the numbers, which we have, if you take away every single tax break high- income people get, they still are better off with a rate reduction of 20%. the rate reduction is worth more to them that all of the deductions they get. if he sticks with the 20% rate reduction, high income people will see their taxes go down. if he will make his plan deficit neutral, he will have to raise taxes somewhere else. host: let's look at details of mitt romney's plan. he is calling for a permanent across-the-board 20% cut in marginal rates. it also maintains current tax rates on interest, dividends, and capital gains. eliminating taxes on adjusted gross income below $200,000. he would eliminate the estate tax and repeal the amt. jump into some of the other mentions for guest: us repealing the alternative minimum tax is something economists would like. it is a parallel tax system. in principle every american has to compute their taxes two ways. they have to pay whichever amount is hi
